What is Skype.exe?

Skype starts up when your computer boots and remains in the background throughout the lifecycle of your PC. If you have Skype installed on a computer that's connected to the Internet, you can make phone calls, send text messages, connect to video chats, access voice mail, send instant messages and much more. By default, Skype places an icon in the Windows taskbar during the installation process. This is the core Skype program.

About Skype.exe (from Skype Technologies SA)

Why just talk when you can see each other face-to-face? Video call your family in Australia, your friends in Spain or your colleagues in Japan, for free. It’s the next best thing to being there. Call
